Gauri....
By morning I awoke to the sound of birds singing, I stretched and smiled brightly. I stood and glanced around for Omkara , now walking down the hall and stopping in front of one of the rooms.
I lean against the door frame and peek at him as he stood in just pants by a desk, his eyes looking over a large piece of paper.
I slowly walk towards him and hug him from behind, softly kissing his back. I then looked at the large paper, it was a large map.
The map that king Abhay said he would give if we protected his kingdom.
"I have bad news an good news Gauri ." He only said, turning to glance at me.
"Hm..?" I only question.
"..Good news this map shows an entirely different area that is unknown to anyone, the bad news is I'm planning to leave here to explore it. It could be a place where we could settle down. Where there's no danger. I want that for you and our kids. So I'm going to go there." Omkara said firmly, already set on his plan.
"But..." My heart dropped before picking up again. "I'm going with you."
"You can't, it's too dangerous of a journey and we have pups Gauri ." He growled out softly and turned to look down at me.
His hand gently tucking my hair behind my ear.
"..I can have Papa and Mama raise them, they raised you and your brothers pretty well. And Mama did want more time with them, I'm not going to stay there and wait for you to come back, I'm not going to cry every night because I'd miss you so much. I can't bear it Om ! I'll go crazy and I will lose my sanity so let me go with you, i don't care whether you like it or not." I say stubornly, looking him straight in the eyes.
The kids are precious for her but nothing more for her than her beloved man.
As if she will lose all her sanity if he is not with her .
He grunted, then kissing me roughly, a grow leaving his lips as he pressed me against the desk. "Why can't you just obey, Gauri ?"
I knew it was a rhetorical question as he continued to kiss me, inhaling my scent and then held me close.
"You can come, but only after we do training first. I need you to be able to not get into so much trouble little chirraya, and I need you to be able to protect yourself easily."
I glare slightly but don't object it, "Fine, if that's what's it takes to go with you. I'll do it."
"Good girl .We'll start training right away."
I follow him out of the house an outside, the sun shining brightly into the sky giving off a warm glow, I inhale the fresh air and smile.
He stared out into the distance, "I can't wait to finally get out of this place even if it's only for a little bit."
I look at him, he looked so relieved and curious, determined. I felt the bugging to know what was out there too, and why the human had that map.
"Well it seems like a new adventure awaits."

"Did you forget about me, Gauri ?."
A familiar voice calls out in her head, causing her to toss and turn. But she couldnʼt quite pin down who the voice belonged to. It was just so awfully familiar to her for some reason.
The voice only began to deepen and soon grew louder and louder until it was roaring out in her mind. Repeating her name over and over again until she screamed out for it to stop.
